Yesterday I met a couple who walked away 15 years ago, a few years after being sealed in the temple. I asked why. It was purely a lifestyle choice.
They argued over whether to pay tithing on gross or net before they stopped paying altogether.
They hid the coffee when relatives came to town.
Then they hid the wine, when they were comfortable enough to have wine.
Then they moved a thousand miles away.
They still get contacted and have had people show up at their house. They acted shocked that they were located.
Their daughter, who was blessed as an infant in tscc, has been contacted in her teenage years.
I was surprised to hear these things even though I've read it here. They didn't care about the history and never resigned. But, his eyes did bug out when I told him about the Book of Abraham, Smith's multiple wives, etc.
As a nevermo, I've found it hard to believe people are tracked down or even that they feel the need to hide their coffee drinking. I've gotten face to face confirmation. Sometimes vision is a component of group dynamics. :)
